Cairn in Dumfries and Galloway

Cairnerzean Fell Summit Cairn is located on a knoll at the highest point of Cairnerzean Fell. It is a largely robbed out cairn measuring c. 20 yards across. The cairn has a low stony bank on the N Arc. This becomes a low kerb of loose stones for 180 degrees on the E and S Arcs. The W Arc is occupied by a ruined sheep ree built from cairn stones. The empty interior of the cairn has a grassy surface with a few scattered small stones concentrated in the centre where a modern cairn c. 4 feet high has been constructed. Further information is included in Canmore ID 61458.

Directions: Take the A77 S from Ayr to Cairnryan. Drive 2.5 miles S from the 30mph speed limit on the S of Cairnryan. There is an unsigned left turn into a single track road to New Luce in the middle of a long straight at NX 0859 6374. Travel on this narrow road for c. 3.5 miles to a parking place beside an old WWII bombing target at NX 1142 6753. Cairnerzean Fell lies c. 2.5 miles E of here. My walking route is viewable on Cairnerzean Fell Route.
Good walking boots, a GPS device and good stamina are requirements for this 5 mile walk over pathless open moorland.

Directions: Cairnerzean Fell Summit by markj99 on Monday, 21 February 2022
(User Info | Send a Message)
I have made an alternative shorter route including a new cairn, Cairnerzean Fell E which I propose to visit soon. Cairnerzean Cairns II is 3.3 miles long, starting at the Cairnerzean Farm Cairns.

Directions: Take the A77 S from Ayr to Cairnryan. Drive 2.5 miles S from the 30mph speed limit on the S of Cairnryan. There is an unsigned left turn into a single track road to New Luce in the middle of a long straight at NX 0859 6374. Travel on this narrow road for c. 7.5 miles to a parking place at NX 1503 6754. This large parking space is c. 0.25 miles S of Cairnernerzean Farm Track on the right.
